Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 197

“...” Alicia buried her face even deeper, mortified. Was that really something you could just say out loud?

To her surprise, the old man didn’t get angry at all. Instead, he nodded approvingly. “If you can, have as many children as possible. For each child, the Lynch family will give you ten million. We can afford it.”

Alicia shot upright, her eyes sparkling.

Ten million for each child?

Serena was just as stunned, staring at the old man in disbelief. Weren’t they here today to demand answers about whose child this was?

Tyrone could only give Alicia an exasperated look. She looked every bit the little money-grubber right now.

“Why don’t you all sit for a bit. I’ll take her upstairs to change,” Tyrone said, scooping Alicia into his arms before she could get any wild ideas.

“Tyrone, is it true? Ten million for every child?” Alicia’s eyes were practically glowing, desperate for him not to deny it.

Tyrone could only sigh. Did Vincent really understand her at all? He’d insisted that offering money would humiliate her, but Tyrone saw no sign of shame—just Alicia’s barely contained excitement. “Don’t you think it’s a little insulting to pay you for having children?”

Alicia was so thrilled she could barely speak. “Please, insult me all you want!”

Tyrone almost laughed out loud in exasperation.

Alicia’s impulsiveness faded for a moment, and she started to wonder if maybe she was just a little too greedy… and maybe a little too shameless.

But ten million! In the face of that kind of money, where was the insult?

“We’ll just have to wait and see. Tomorrow they’ll go to the hospital for blood work. If she really is pregnant, we’ll do a paternity test when the child is born,” the old man said gravely, turning to Serena. “Back then, you were hurt saving Tyrone. The Lynch family still owes you for that. You’ve nearly recovered now—if there’s anything you want, you’re welcome to ask.”

Serena’s fingers froze for a second. What she really wanted was to marry Tyrone…

But she knew better. With Nicole and Alicia both in the way, the old man would never agree to it.

Only if she could get rid of Nicole and Alicia would she be able to ask for what she truly wanted.

“Thank you, sir. I don’t have any requests at the moment. If I think of something in the future, I’ll let you know,” Serena answered, her tone gentle and polite.

The old man nodded, clearly pleased. “Good.”
